    How Did Humans Figure Out That Sex Makes Babies?

    "...As for how humans attained what biological anthropologist Holly Dunsworth calls “reproductive consciousness,” that part is murkier. Most likely, we got the gist from observing animal reproduction cycles and generally noting that women who do not sleep with men do not get pregnant. But that doesn’t mean that early peoples—or for that matter, modern people—thought or think of the process in the utilitarian, sperm-meets-egg way that the scientifically literate do now..."

    This reminds me of Global Warming deniers.

    Everyone knows that, when a man and a woman love each other very much, the stork brings them a baby and leaves it underneath a cabbage leaf.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Inspecting cabbage before you eat it is important. I found a few bugs and a worm or two but no babies, just lucky I suppose.

    How did they figure out that certain frogs are hallucinogenic?

    Someone licked his fingers. Have you ever really looked at your hand, man? I mean, like, really looked at it??

    I figure they were already high. At that point they thought that the stories were true. If they kiss the frog then they will get a princess. One thing led to another and they found a new LSD type high.

    I think early hominids figured it out from dirty magazines.
